When a photographer uses an art director, make-up artist, model etc etc, then there is generally a commercial arrangement that includes the acknowledgement that the IP rests with the photographer this can of course be varied by way of contract between the parties. The agreement concerning provision of associated services, such as art direction, would normally include the range of use of the photos.<br /><a href="http://increasesoundcloud.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow">buy music downloads</a>lilibeth smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632618828849753005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-74307911956233327262012-12-19T10:49:07.312-06:002012-12-19T10:49:07.312-06:00Wrong again, PenQuin.

Look it up. The BLM is asserting ownership and requiring pre-licensing. Some States have joined in on the fun. Meteorites have been confiscated. Whether any of this could stand up in court is a different matter. Most times the government assumes the the private citizen won&#39;t finance the expensive legal challenge.

Those who created the work, or the companies using the work for their benefit by charging for the pictures. Or the companies ignoring the monetized efforts and in effect giving away other companies digital property without paying them a red cent, but still getting rich off the deal.<br />Saying digital stuff should be free, kind of makes the whole copyright argument moot.<br />As it went with movies and tv shows and music, so too shall it go with photos and books and your personal data (like your credit cards). And why not, it&#39;s all digital 0s and 1s. If you have no problem stealing music and media,<br />then you have no right to be outraged that your stuff was taken from the cloud.<br />jr565http://www.blogger.com/profile/06250384040393259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-85792409790090424632012-12-18T15:41:37.235-06:002012-12-18T15:41:37.235-06:00The day of the Sandy Hook shooting, we were here d...The day of the Sandy Hook shooting, we were here discussing <a href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-ten-most-overrated-things-in-world.html" rel="nofollow">&quot;The ten most overrated things in the world [SLIDESHOW].&quot;</a> <br /><br />I dont quite know how to make the connection... <a href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2012/12/so-i-will-not-be-writing-scenes-of.html" rel="nofollow">sort of like how RLC felt after witnessing an incident at a party</a>... but I do find it interesting (if not entertaining) that Althouse found Entertainment at the top of her list of he most overrated things in the world.<br /><br />Instagram, facebook, smartphones, reality shows, easy credit affords us a perception fortiori, to quote Tom Stoppard, &quot;We&#39;re actors - we&#39;re the opposite of people.&quot;<br /><br />Ann Hathaway...
